Also true peer to peer social networks that don’t even need the internet to run. Each phone can become a node wirelessly communicating with nearby nodes. It would have to be implemented well to handle the volume of people who could be in range during protests, but people with physical access to each other shouldn’t need social media websites to communicate.
It’s just a matter of whether that infrastructure needs to be created, disseminated, or enabled. I’m guessing France would probably need step 2 since this kind of thing has likely already been written after similar tactics were used in other areas, like Hong Kong.
